Due Dates

Given that everyone is busy with competing priorities, this course offers flexible due dates. In order to avoid falling behind, you will see recommended due dates on all assignment pages. On the Course Schedule and Structure, there is a final assignment submission deadline. After this deadline, assignments will no longer be accepted and you will receive a grade of 0 on these outstanding assignments.

Assessment Details

Please ensure that you read through all items before proceeding by selecting each title.

After learning about the mission, vision, and values of Numinus as well as the Numinus care model, you will need to create your own mission statement, vision, and values reflecting based on your own practice. Please be sure to describe how you could incorporate and deepen your practice according to the seven guiding approaches.

You will find short knowledge checks throughout each week of content. These knowledge checks will give you an opportunity to check your understanding of the topics covered in the asynchronous content. Each knowledge check is worth 4% and will evaluate the learning outcomes identified each week.

The individual reflections can be written or in video form. You will be assigned a relevant topic and be required to write a reflection demonstrating your acquisition of practiced skills and competencies. For more detailed instructions, please visit:

Each week, your practice group will be assigned a skill-based activity or two to practice. At the end of each session (excluding the first two practice group meetings), you will be asked to record a brief group reflection discussing what you practiced, some key takeaways, and general reactions to the activities.

Note

During virtual sessions and in the asynchronous content, there will be opportunities to practice your skills which do not count towards your final grade. Participation in these activities is strongly encouraged for you to benefit the most from this course and leave the course with a strong skillset.
